Ander - Part 6: Subchapter 143

Ander - Part 6: Subchapter 142
142 Tio could actually feel the heat baking off of her. It wasn't the fire, and it wasn't the blood, it was her, _just her_, as if her anger had come alive. "Layla-Kai?" He looked up, seeing for the first time just what she was changing into, what...
Ander - Part 6: Subchapter 141
141 Layla ran full tilt into what felt like a fuzzy brick wall, hard enough to rebound and land on her tail with a painful thump. She looked up at the creature looming over her, feeling smaller than small, feeling like a mouse caught between the claws...

Ander - Part 6: Subchapter 103
103 It all happened so fast, faster than Bartholomew could even process. He saw it happening well enough, but if felt like his brain was a few seconds behind. The gigantic black Wolf grabbed Dean by the head and just... twisted it around, like it was...

102 "Come on, put your back into it, Nicky!" Bartholomew said, shovelling a heap of snow in his brother's general direction. "Sod off, Bart!" "You call that shovelling? I bet old 'Thello's grandmum could shovel better than that, and she's got a hook...
Ander - Part 6: Subchapter 101
101 The stone was heavy in Jonah's hands. He knew what he had to do with it, but... it wasn't that simple. _Yes it is, you bloody coward. You just have to put it down. So just do it and get it done. Time is ticking away._ Yeah. Just 'put it down'....
